Know before you buy
The 58-liter capacity is split into two separate sections, allowing you to manage trash and recyclables in one footprint. The recycling side includes a removable bucket with a handle for easy transport to your outdoor bin.
While you can use standard bags, this model is designed for Simplehuman's custom-fit liners. These are specifically sized to fit the bin perfectly, preventing bunching and ensuring the bag stays hidden under the steel rim.
The built-in liner pocket is located on the back of the can. It stores a pack of liners so you can dispense them one by one from inside the bin, making bag changes significantly faster.
Yes, the lid is engineered with a damper that controls the motion, allowing it to close slowly and quietly without slamming. It is designed to operate smoothly every time you use the pedal.
The exterior features a specialized fingerprint-proof coating that resists smudges and germs. This keeps the stainless steel looking clean even with daily use in a busy kitchen.
At 30 inches tall, this bin is designed to fit under most standard kitchen countertops. However, you should measure your specific space to ensure there is enough clearance for the lid to open fully.
